Creating Innovative Rules for Ancient and Medieval Tabletop Combat

Conversions using parts from Immortal Miniatures and Perry Miniatures

The plastic hoplite boxset from Immortal Miniatures contains some un-armoured bodies. Unfortunately they all look the same. What I therefore decided to try was to make some of the bodies into javelinmen, psiloi or peltasts. For this I took arms from Perry Miniatures plastic Sudanese. The arms fit just as well as Immortal’s own.

I also tried to fit a Sudanese head to one of the hoplite bodies. It looks a bit big but considering that most 28mm metal hoplites look like crap in terms of proportions that’s not a huge issue. Not sure I’ll do it anymore though.

So what to do with the Immortal arms and weapons? I tried fitting them on suitable Sudanese bodies and it went really well. The arms look very good with the Immortal bodies in terms of proportions. The positions the bodies are in could however fit the arms better. The bodies are very active and the arms fit better in a phalanx.

All in all I’m happy with the results. I really want a lot of light troops so plastics seems like the way to go. Let me know if you have any comments on these conversions.
